Wow, that is a very detailed manual.

I am trying to find more information to no avail. Actually the only picture of an IBM terminal with a cylindrical tube is the one in your article, there is nothing else on the entire Internet. I will keep investigating.

It's funny that you mention Japan, because I live here and I swear 90% of Japanese movies/dramas/animes are just rehashes of the same ideas over and over again. I guess only the good stuff gets exported.

Fascinating article, I really like knowing where the old standards came from.

But I am extremely curious the first picture in the "The IBM 2260 video display terminal" section. All the other pictures show the typical extremely round CRT of the era, but that one is the characteristic cylindrical tube of Trinitrons, a technology released several years later. I am trying to find some information about it to no avail.

Don't ask me, I don't know of anybody who wants to move to the US.

What people get mad about is

1) The hypocrisy of a country created by immigrants, people obsessed with their "heritage" and calling themselves $country-American even when they have zero relation to said $country, now hating immigrants so much.

2) The brutality of the TSA and ICE against anybody they don't like. Do I really need to expand this point?

3) The arrogance of assuming that we all want to move there. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are not the centre of the world.

Not everybody wants to live there; heck, I know plenty of Americans that after living abroad in Europe and Japan don't want to go back.

And before you say that the US gets a bazillion immigrants per year, Europe gets many more.
